I managed to get it kinda working. The flashing issue with the Samsung
seemed to be in a stale monitors.xml file. Posting for reference:

Boot laptop separate, then remove ~/.config/monitors.xml and /etc/gnome-
settings-daemon/xrandr/monitors.xml

Shutdown. Place laptop on Ultrabase. Boot, system comes up in cloned
screens mode.

gnome-display-properties, disable cloned mode, set monitor screen
resolution, apply. We are now in dual head mode, with the unity launcher
on the laptop screen. The only way to get it on the main screen seems to
be to disable laptop screen.

disable laptop screen, apply. The confirmation countdown apparently runs
somewhere else and will revert your change in 30 seconds... unless you
press apply again and confirm it.

I still have to experiment on how I can make that setup stick... or work
with the laptop lid closed on the Ultrabase.
